न चोरहार्यं न च राजहार्यं न भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारी।
व्यते कृते वर्धत एव नित्यं विद्याधनं सर्वधनात् प्रधानम्॥
na corahāryaṁ na ca rājahāryaṁ na bhrātṛbhājyaṁ na ca bhārakārī|
vyate kṛte vardhata eva nityaṁ vidyādhanaṁ sarvadhanāt pradhānam||
Knowledge is the best among all possessions.
Thieves cannot steal it
The king or the government cannot confiscate it.
We need not divide it among brothers as we do with ancestral property. (We cannot too)
It is never heavy (especially for those who cherish knowledge)
It would only increase every day even if we spend lavishly (when we impart knowledge to others, our knowledge just increases manifold)
